Scottish Usability Professionals Association (SUPA) Glasgow Meeting Interactive TV Usability - Is EPG Dead? 23rd October 2003

The Scottish Usability Professionals Association (SUPA) will be returning to Glasgow for our next event which looks at the current and future usability of interactive television.

Tuesday 23rd October, 2007 - Interactive TV usability: Is the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) dead?
Jonathan Marshall, Zype

Venue: The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow G1 3NU

Time: 18:30

The landscape of interactive television is changing rapidly, with implications for usability. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has arrived, bringing with it the challenge of finding, watching and managing video content from multiple sources. The traditional grid based EPG is less relevant in this new, on-demand world. We will look at some of the existing IPTV offerings including OpenTV, Joost and the BBC to compare features and functions. Jonathan will also showcase a new Unified User Interface which seamlessly integrates live broadcast programmes with on-demand and stored content using an innovative 3D spatial environment. This event will be a great chance to learn about the current usability challenges in the world of Interactive Television, as users control various content from several different sources.
